I'm on digest so I just read my post on when Nigel was born, and went "Doh!!!!!" On Sat, 30 Mar 1996 00:53:55 -0500 *I* wrote; >>He was born on 11-19-96 so that would mean he's about 46, correct?<< Correct? Not bloody likely is it?! And the correct date is---11-19-49! Well that was my first simple mistake, understandable. But it's been correctly brought to my attention that I may have inadvertantly offended some people with my comment on, and I quote myself; >>But, if that was the case originally, LaCroix decided that Nick was more fun to teach, pester, hunt humans with, etc., than he had originally thought, and took him from her. Indian Giver!!:)<< I didn't realize that the mentioning of someone being an "Indian Giver" was very possibly a serious cultural slur. I myself have never thought of it that way, because I've never heard it in a really negative context, only as an interesting historical phrase (which, now that I really think about it, was probably meant to be a serious cultural slur of the time. Oh my, what have I done?) In fact I haven't heard it at all in many years, and it just sprang to mind to fit the occasion. Just to very quickly set the record straight, I truly do admire the Native American culture (more so than my own actually) and would never want anyone to think otherwise.

Of course I'm nothing if not uncreative so I'd love to hear from the inspired out there who are good at this. My idea is that it should be something that goes well with both erotic and platonic viewpoints: Vindictives -(given LC and Janette's shared belief in the need for revenge) Saviours -(Referring to LC's actions in A Fate Worse than Death, and Janette's general good nature to strays) Cousettes or Cousinettes -(Cousin+Ravenette) The Talon and Fang Gang Ebony and Ivories -(Janette and 1st season LC only:) Pre-Brickolites -(for their years together before Nick) RavenOwners or RavenRunners Eternal Hunters (another sport enjoyed by both) More nutty thoughts included the bird theme, Janette=Raven, LaCroix= a vulture (as Nick has called him, and which he tends to act like on battlefields everywhere!), which led to some truly awful names like: Carrion Comforters (partly inspired by Dan Simmons:) And from out of my thesaurus; Les Bons Vivants*- (because LaCroix and Janette knew how to live the good life) *French agreement probably incorrect This faction is designed for those of you who adore that scene in Human Factor with Janette and LC at the bar, and wish there could be more like it. It's for those who see revenge as a dish best served with two fang marks in the neck. For those who believe life would have been great for the two of them if only they'd never found Nick! For those who feel that Janette should have someone who enjoys what he is, and who has a wealth of experience to prove it. For those who feel that LaCroix should have quit while he was ahead, and been satisfied with just a daughter. For those who feel that eternity is the only way to go, and that even large changes can still be made the same, (see Human Factor and spoilers!) Join the faction boom of '96! Help name this faction!!

Vachon? I don't think that the "Hand" that worked its way into the list was the one that Vachon was missing in B.B. I don't know for some strange reason that doesn't seem too scary to me, and the whole point was teaming up something with the Blue Meanies and LC to do some evil deeds. I guess the only thing left to clear up is which "Hand" it is. The one from Yellow Submarine or The Addams Family.

In Blind Faith Nick called Carouches "a lower form of vampire" -- but they are vampires nonetheless. It's like, umm... Hold on, anthrovamp is trying to think of an example. Okay here's one: a lorus is a primate, but it's not as "evolved" toward humanhood as, say, a chimpanzee. But a lorus could still call itself a primate. Actually, if a lorus could talk well enough to call itself ANYthing, it'd be pretty darn evolved. ;) I still think that Carouches are those vamps made when another vamp drains them but they don't get any blood in return. Which would mean that Carouches existed before the 3rd season, but that we just didn't have a name for them yet. (Continuity? We don't need no stinkin continuity!) Why do I say this? In Blind Faith, we know that Perry bit Jody, but there's no evidence that Jody bit Perry, or that Perry had the cognitive process to open up his little doggie paw and place is over his mistress's mouth. A lot has been said along the lines that what makes a Carouche a Carouche is it's "first kill" or its first taste of blood being an animal. Thus its preferrence for animal blood. But then NK calls Carouches a "lower from of vampire", and I don't think he'd look down on ANYone because they preferred to kill animals rather than humans. See what I mean? He'd probably rather be a Carouche himself if it meant having a preferrence for animals! I think most Carouches prefer animal blood because they are either abandoned by their creators and have to fend for themselves (and find animals) or because they are in a situation where all they have are animals. We speculated that if Screed was a sailor, he might have been brought across on a ship, where his first kill was "a squealer". Whew. Who knew there was so much to say about a lower form of vampires!

Flames are not allowed for real people - we can't hurt a character's feelings (as much as we'd like to believe otherwise) they are not real. If someone feels so strongly about a character that they get hurt if the character is flamed - Houston, we have a problem. Please don't take that as a flame, we recently saw what happened between the Nevermores and the Ravenettes but I think that was because of personal flaming, not so much the discussion of the character. Since we are here to have fun, and sometimes it is fun calling Nick a brick (even if I do love him dearly). I think maybe the vehemence could be toned down a little, maybe not so "Nasty"....Character or no, there's no reason to be soo nasty. Does that make sense?

I was in fact informed by the originator of Hand that Hand is in fact from Yellow Submarine. However, I was under the opinion that this hand was actually called Glove. Aha! An inconsistency! Something we Forever Knight fans are quite experienced at dealing with! I submit that the airplane explosion in Black Buddha actually created a small tear in the space-time continuum for a fraction of a second, so that Schanke and Cohen (believed dead) were actually sucked into an alternate universe; and Vachon's hand, which was detached at that particular moment, was for that nanosecond transformed into Hand, all-powerful, all-knowing, and able to travel effortlessly through the tangled web of Space/Time -- so that a second later, when it once more became a perfectly ordinary vampire's hand lying twitching on the floor, the principle of Hand (operating independently of its own reality) remained intact. Looking for something to do with its immortal eternity, Hand cruised through spaces and times and realities, picking up the odd job along the way: therefore, Hand is Thing and Glove and all other five-fingered manifestations of power and intelligence.

I'm not talking about posts about how a character behaved in a certain episode or posts about the character flaws of particular characters. I'm talking about wholesale, harsh statements about a character that sound like a person wishes a particular character weren't even on the show. We all have characters we like the best. For some of us there may be characters we don't like at all, and really wish weren't there, but if that's the case, I wish peoples would keep flames about those characters off the list.

Umm..., I'm not sure that's what I mean. Different people do have different styles of expressing themselves, and that's cool. One person's "nastiness" may just be another person's sense of humor. Tracy isn't my favorite character, and I'm not "hurt" that some people don't like her, but I do like "Forever Knight" as a whole, and that includes Tracy. Some of the postings about Tracy sound like people wish the character weren't there at all. I guess people have the right to express their opinion about this too. Somebody did it recently about Vachon, but Vachon has lots of defenders. I am just beginning to understand Tracy better, and, I think, to understand her place in the show.

I said that Vachon was clearly an inadequate replacement for Janette, as he had to be accompanied by Urs and Screed... I didn't mean that as a Vachon put-down, but as an observation that, in an ideal world, Vachon and Tracy and their cohorts would have been spun off into their own show by my fantasy version of BB, in which Schanke was late getting to the airport, and Janette stayed...

"they" were the cover story..the article glorifying this new world of vampires that's never been delved into before, this female vampire who misses her humanity...and intrigued by the human policeman...aaarggg!!! I could just spit! They're getting all this great press...I thought no one was interested in vampire stories? Why did FK have such a hard time trying to get some press? What is so different about "them" and FK that they get all this great press and we practically had to beg to get any kind of coverage for FK? Grumble, grumble, grumble gnash, gnash!!
